Coleen McLoughlin

Profession: Footballer's girlfriend
Place/Date of Birth: Liverpool, 03 April 2020
Associated with: Wayne Rooney

Stilt walkers dressed as swans and jugglers in sailor suits greeted guests as they arrived at the glamorous party.

A giant marquee and mini funfair were erected in the garden of the 100-acre estate, which is the former home of soap magnate William Hesketh Lever.

About 50 fans gathered outside the manor hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrity guests.

Scores of security guards were patrolling the perimeter of the party venue - the rights to which have reportedly been sold exclusively to a celebrity magazine.

The party is a far cry from the Wag’s 18th birthday party, which was held in a function room at the Devonshire House Hotel, in Liverpool.

Guests at that event were treated to a buffet including cheese sandwiches, sausage rolls and curry and rice.

The 18th party concluded with the police being called after a scuffle reportedly broke out between guests.

Coleen plans fairytale wedding - Mar 28 2007
Coleen McLoughlin is apparently planning to use her upcoming 21st birthday bash as practice for her huge fairytale wedding.

The WAG queen and footy ace Wayne Rooney are set to exchange vows in a lavish ceremony next July - and the brunette has her heart set on "big, traditional wedding", according to Closer magazine.

"Coleen wants her wedding to Wayne to be spectacular, so her star-studded 350-guest birthday bash will give her a taste of what to expect when planning the wedding," a source revealed to the magazine.

Her birthday party this week, which is apparently being held at the plush Thornton Manor in Cheshire, will have a circus theme - complete with acrobats and other performers.

And rap star P Diddy and the Sugababes will reportedly entertain Coleen’s guests, who are thought to include plenty of footballers, the Beckhams and former Atomic Kittens Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon.

Wayne and Coleen ’to wed next year’ - Mar 19 2007
Wayne Rooney is "likely" to marry his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin next summer, sources have revealed.

The England international is set to tie the knot with his long-term girlfriend in the summer of 2008.

No precise date has yet been fixed but the nuptials are likely to have to work around the national team’s fixtures in the Euro 2008 tournament.

The news follows the completion of a £1.5m deal with Hello! magazine earlier this month to exclusively cover the couple’s big day.

The staggering figure is thought to be the largest ever paid by a celebrity magazine to cover a wedding.

Contracts were completed around three weeks ago and the enormous sum also includes exclusive access to Coleen’s 21st birthday party to be held in the Wirral later this month. Both bashes will be lavish affairs with stringent security for the couple and their showbiz guests.

Details of Coleen’s birthday, expected to be held at Thornton Hall in two weeks’ time, emerged in the national press earlier this month.

The couple met in 1998 and began dating in 2001 when Coleen was only 14-years-old. Rooney is rumoured to have proposed to her on the forecourt of a petrol station in 2003.

Sources close to the striker said: "It’s likely the wedding will be next summer although a definite date has not been arranged yet."

Biography

The daughter of Tony, a bricklayer, and Colette, a nursery nurse, Coleen McLoughlin was raised in the rough Liverpool suburb of Croxteth. One of four children, she has two younger brothers, Joe and Anthony, and a sister, Rosie, who suffers from the condition Rett’s Syndrome.

Coleen met aspiring footballer Wayne Rooney at St John Bosco Catholic school where, she says, he pestered her in to going out with him by constantly asking ’are you gonna ring me?’ Their first date is reported to have been at the local cinema, where they watched Austin Powers 2. Although Coleen left school with a respectable ten GCSEs and aspirations to become an actress (she had starred in school productions of Grease and Bugsy Malone), by this time she had become something of a celebrity as Wayne became one of England’s most famous young footballers.

Tabloid excitement followed as Coleen shopped ’til she dropped, forgave Wayne an ill advised dalliance with a prostitute, accepted a proposal on a petrol station forecourt then threw her £46,000 ring in to the otter enclosure at the zoo. By the time she was 18 Coleen was one of the most photographed women in the country and her developing style had won her legions of fans.

Before long Coleen had no need to spend her boyfriend’s money - she had amassed a fortune of £5.5m of her own through sponsorship deals, writing her own column for Closer, modelling for Asda (whom she is also in talks to design a range for), and a deal to write her own book, Welcome to My World. Meanwhile she has challenged public perception through a presenting stint on Tonight With Trevor McDonald in which she spoke about Rett’s Syndrome.

Coleen, who lives in Cheshire, will reportedly marry Wayne in 2008.
